   I have developed a 2-page skill process checklist around WASP – really useful for interview role plays. It gives the Observors a good structure to deliver feedback to the Interviewer. I am very happy to send you (or anyone else) a copy. Just email me on info@abctrainingsolutions.biz
   Happy Days!

   And I thought WASP was a clandestine way of planning illegal discriminatory activity, given that it also stands for
   White
   Anglo
   Saxon
   Protestant

   (No I’m not being serious!
   😉

5. I thought I’d invented it!
   I use WASP this way when interviewing candidates:
   W- worries and concerns
   A- ambitions and aspirations
   S- strengths and weaknesses
   P- present position

   I run a Recruiters Academy for anyone who wants to become better at recruitment and selection for either corporate or search firms.
